The Seitz Lab

Hydrogen is a promising fuel for renewable energy, but producing it is currently carbon intensive & expensive. Enter water electrolysis—the process of breaking apart water molecules using electricity—& a new catalyst design from Northwestern researchers. spr.ly/6017cVukl

Today we would like to highlight Prof. @Andrew_S_Rosen of @Princeton! Dr. Rosen's group leverages quantum-chemical calculations and machine learning to guide the discovery of electronically tunable materials for catalysis.

Congratulations to Prof. Linsey Seitz (@ActiveSeitz), Northwestern University (@nu_chbe) recipient of the @ACSCATLDivision 2024 Early Career Award in Catalysis. This award recognizes accomplishments and innovation of merit by an individual in the early stages of their career.

Last but certainly not least, for Hispanic Heritage Month, we highlight Felipe Polo-Garzon! Dr. Polo-Garzon is an R&D Staff Scientist in the Surface Chemistry and Catalysis Group of the Chemical Sciences Division at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (@ORNL). ornl.gov/staff-profile/…

Hispanic Heritage Month may officially be over, but we have a few more highlights left! Today, we highlight Joaquin Resasco (@JoaquinResasco), Assistant Professor in the McKetta Dept. of Chemical Engineering at @UTAustin!

Today for Hispanic Heritage Month, we highlight Dr. Jesús Velázquez (@Velazquez_Lab), Associate Professor in the Dept. of Chemistry at @ucdavis! Check out a bit about his group's research below! 1/2

For Hispanic Heritage Month, we highlight Yomaira Pagán-Torres, Professor of Chemical Engineering at the University of Puerto Rico-Mayagüez! Her research group focuses on the design and synthesis of heterogeneous catalytic materials with tailored active sites 1/3

Thank you for sharing, Paul. I am genuinely humbled and grateful for this recognition. Maria was an incredibly creative scientist, a role model and a remarkable figure in our field. This recognition goes to all my present and former students and postdocs for all their efforts.

Today we highlight @yuriy_roman for Hispanic Heritage month! Prof. Roman's team focuses on microenvironment design in catalysts through molecular engineering, reactor design and kinetics for sustainable chemical prod. , including lignin to aviation fuels and plastics circularity

For Hispanic Heritage Month, we highlight @stchavez , Arnold O. Beckman Postdoctoral Fellow at @Stanford ! Dr. Chavez will begin his independent career at @UCLAengineering in 2024. His group will use concepts from nanophotonics and catalysis to design next-gen photocatalysts.

In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, we are delighted to highlight Prof. Morales-Guio of @UCLAengineering ! His group is interested in electrocatalysis fundamentals and reactor design, focusing on mass transport effects and using smart manufacturing techniques for scale up

Great to be visiting labs again. It was awesome to visit the @ActiveSeitz lab this morning at Northwestern. Looking forward to more RDE/RRDE papers from you!

Today for LGBTQIAPN+ Pride Month, we highlight Dr. Rachel Getman (@rbgetman), a Murdoch Family Endowed Professor in the Dept. of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering at @ClemsonUniv and soon-to-be Claugus Endowed Prefer at @OhioStateCBE (Aug. 2023)! …putationalcatalysis.sites.clemson.edu/index.html
